Today’s deck is the Mystic Palette Tarot.

On one hand the images are breathtaking. On the other seeing a card labeled “X Stabe” has done irreparable damage to my brain.
Today’s reading advices that disregarding my gut feeling AND the things right in front of me is a surefire way to Find Out.

Usual Friday, Japanese lesson and then bar.
I wanted to check some shops before the Nipponbashi Street Festa, though. So I added that to the route, but I hold off from going out immediately just in case the bank did as a bank is wont to do and contact me on a Friday.
When I didn’t see any messages around midday, I figured it was safe to leave the house with that out of my mind.
I was cutting it kinda close time-wise but I did buy a bunch of new clothes and a couple of wigs for future girls.
I made it to the lesson in time and I wanted to have something that can described as very late lunch or very early dinner depending on how you qualify the light meal I had before leaving.
I took the chance to check LOFT and I felt tempted to buy one of the hobonichis that start in April since my own Hobonichi got stuck at the start of February… but after thinking about it I decided against it. Even if it takes me longer I’d rather push against the curse that makes all journaling efforts fall off after February.

From there I went to the bar and… stayed until near closing, for a total of around 5 hours almost.
The thing is that I kept thinking about returning early but was like “to do what?”. All the usual housekeeping motions were accounted for in the morning, I would return to roughly… stare at the cieling for a bit until I fall asleep.
That IS a valid thing, mind you. May I remind you: I had a sudden “sleep 12 hours” sort of day not that long ago. But had energy, was chatting with people, and just taking in the ambiance… and the cigar smoke, I guess…
I don’t have an irrational hate for the smell of cigar smoke, but I don’t appreciate the way the smell clings to stuff.
By the end I returned feeling energized and tired in equal amounts.

I am SURE my brain will decide to be a bitch about feeling good and second guess myself. But that’s a problem for later after I wake up.
